Want to remind everyone that if you're like "huh it's been really hard to get info on this massive outbreak" that DOGE fired every communications staffer at the CDC last year (in addition to their food inspection teams!)

There is a crisis in economics and history education. People hear this question and think "yes I'd like lower prices" with no understanding of basic supply & demand, 1970s gas lines, life in central planning systems, etc. Even GOP voters no longer understand how markets work.

“they'll use that [nuclear] energy to pull carbon out of thin air and turn it into oil and gas for supreme energy abundance”

one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard in my life

i cannot begin to stress how important it is, especially now, to protect our natural environment from these sick ai poisoned freaks

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

*The* defining issue of Biden's presidency per the media and it barely gets mentioned these days even though the cost of groceries is worse now than at any point of Biden's term. Really fucking infuriating

[Theo Black @theodorekblack]

@KyleMorgenstein not to mention everyone has different values on which metrics matter, and we cannot possibly know every secondary and tertiary effect of things such as treating people with dignity

[Theo Black @theodorekblack]

@KyleMorgenstein totally agree with your point - i think metrics can be good for comparing to an extent, and evaluating things like if too much resource goes to multi-million ceo salaries for non-profits. but in impacts, its impossible to capture each individual “metric” of the human experience

This parasite affects fresh produce. The screwworm affects livestock. Both vital to our food supply. Alpha-gal is a tick-borne disease that makes us allergic to meat and dairy. The Trump admin cut programs that protected us against all of these things, and they’re all worse now.

Genuinely impossible to argue against. Has been tried, doesn't hurt business, protects consumer interests. You're just deranged if you think its a negative that you can just stop a service you dont use from charging you, no 5-7 business day period required

A year ago, CDC made Cyclospora surveillance optional. It had been tracked for 28 years.

Today: ~3,000 cases across 31 states, no confirmed source, and CDC’s own count (843) is trailing what states are reporting by thousands.

Just a reminder according to US law you cannot make an advertisement for food without using exactly the ingredients it takes to make such food. Report all these AI ads

KEEP BULLYING TECH COMPANIES INTO REMOVING USELESS AND INVASIVE AI FEATURES!!!!!!!!

This is literally the advice of the National Weather Service. They warn to avoid showering, bathing, and washing dishes because lightning can travel through the wiring and plumbing of your home.

[BODEGA PEPTIDES @bigsnugga]

they had 19 year old /pol/ users going through all federal spending and deleting anything where the words were too big to understand

[Lee Hepner @LeeHepner]

No one - not a single person - created an Instagram account with the expectation that their photos would be used to generate AI advertisements.

If users had to proactively opt in to this, no one would. Instead, Meta doesn’t even notify you it’s happening.

[bONGO 🌐 @wariocolosseum]

wiping meta off the face of the planet is strictly a net positive for humanity
